Chair X by Røberto Medina is a profound work of Black Art, captured in photography and presented on paper. The empty chair, central to the composition, becomes a metaphor for absence, presence, and cultural memory — a quiet yet powerful symbol within the artist’s ongoing series.
Medina’s mastery of light, framing, and minimalism transforms simplicity into layered meaning. The photograph invites reflection on resilience and belonging, situating Chair X firmly within the continuum of Black Art, where absence itself becomes testimony and silence a form of resistance.
As part of Afrikanizm Art’s curated collection, Chair X is a one-of-a-kind collector’s piece that unites conceptual clarity with cultural resonance. A photograph that strengthens the Chair series as a meditation on identity, memory, and the evolving language of Black Art.
